| Re: [s-d] [s-b] CFI - I am named uniquely |
Nonetheless, once having chosen an unique name, I have a unique name. Actions taken by another player cannot change the fact that I complied with the rules by having a unique name. My name is unique. Even if you do successfully chose a name that is identical (not true in this case) then I still have my unique name. -- Jeff Gitchel jeff@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://turtlemoon.org twitter: gitchel On 28/07/2010, at 22:53, Craig Daniel <teucer@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Wed, Jul 28, 2010 at 11:50 PM, Jeff Gitchel <gitchel@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> >> CFI - my name is unique despite attempts of other player(s) to make it non-unique. >> >> Argument: the state of my once-unique name does not change due to the actions of other players.
